Hi Alex,
I couldn't find either file in my sources.list and I
have a fairly extensive listing. Then googling showed
that the correct file name was "kexi-mdb-plugin".
Further googling showed that kexi-mdb-driver is listed
in all ubuntu versions except Hardy and Intrepid and I
don't know why that is so.  What version of Ubuntu are
you using? If it's gutsy or earlier then
kexi-mdb-driver will be in the repo for KDE/universe.
Someone else may be able to explain why
kexi-mdb-driver is not included the Hardy and
Intrepid. I can't. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
BTW, there are many hits for kexi-mdb-driver when
googling and at least one bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexi-mdb-driver/+bug/134485

I didn't have time to review them all but you may have
more incentive to do so. HTH,
