I looked at the blog entry and at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230247 
which it cites and the bug implies that you need kdepimlibs-4.5.*. So maybe 
the solution is to unemerge kdepimlibs-4.4.* and then rebuild KDEPIM-4.4 
against kdepimlibs-4.5.1.

I am sure I saw some posts here where people claimed to have installed 4.5.0 
from the overlay. Maybe they have some input? Otherwise I will go with choice 
2!
