Sorry for the noise, John. I should have read the whole thread more
carefully.
I have a machine where I did a new install of Ubuntu 12.04 just a week
ago, so it is pretty clean. I get:
alant@windy:~$ which latex
/usr/bin/latex
Further investication shows that this is a symlink to
/usr/bin/pdftex.I'm not sure why you get the full path.
His full path began with /usr/local -- not somewhere the distro should
use. That is for things the user installs, only, in my book.
Looking at the Ubuntu Software Centre shows me only texlive 2009 (rather
old), but no other texlive options. I'm not sure where you got the 2011
or 2012 packages. Have you added a different repository?
Debian testing is currently using 2012, but it took a long time for them
to update from 2009 to 2011 -- and then quickly went to 2012. I suspect
that the version of Ubuntu you are looking at is a stable version, which
is always pretty old.

It is a scientifically proven fact that a mid life crisis can only be
cured by something racy and Italian. Bianchis and Colnagos are a lot
cheaper than Maserattis and Ferraris.
