Thanks, Nicholas and Phil. I am not using virtualbox. I have two test environments - one is saucy-daily-guest image in kvm. Other is a bare metal installation running alongside my 12.10 main desktop on a different partition. I was getting these errors when trying to refresh daily build using apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. Yesterday I was able to download latest good zsync (i think it is friday's image) from a location with faster connection, burned and reinstalled on my test partition. So I am good to continue my tests for now. It will be a problem if I get the same error after the next apt-get upgrade.
Another question in this regard - does the display engine switch over to mir automatically after an apt-get upgrade? Or is it a user initiated task? Is there any command to show which graphics engine is currently running?
