This is how I did it:
I installed the basic TeXLive packages from synaptics
(as required by, e.g., auctex
).
Next I downloaded the big iso
image from here, mounted it, and installed it as usual (sudo ./install-tl
, etc.).
In Options
I chose to create symbolic links, which replaced the older version's synlinks.
Finally, I downloaded a fresh version of tlmgr
from here, installed it, and updated my system.
Now I have a fully functional, updated copy of TexLive 2012.
tlmgr
in the final step should not be necessary, since tlmgr
can update itself.

tlmgr
cannot be run unless first updated "the hard way".
