The solution you are trying to do is suitable for Ubuntu versions 12.10 and not for 12.04 LTS.

If you would like to have the old scroll bar in Ubuntu 12.04 then you can do it by installing Ubuntu tweak. Here is the way to do it.

open your terminal with CTRL+ALT+T then type as

wget https://launchpadlibrarian.net/126356445/ubuntu-tweak_0.8.3-1%7Eprecise1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-tweak_0.8.3-1%7Eprecise1_all.deb

It will installs Ubuntu Tweak in your system. Then open it and click at tweaks TAB and there you can find your desired option.

I took the decision that suggested @gh403

sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar liboverlay-scrollbar-0.2-0 liboverlay-scrollbar3-0.2-0
