Ran into this same problem about two weeks ago. At that time the list decided that the DBD updates had been given to Active state but they hadn't pushed them out. I ran into a similar problem with Connector/J so I dropped back to 4.0x. I get the feeling that while the server may be ready the support software is not quite there.
