That wouldn’t have worked due to the /frameworks/X.Y/portingAids layout.

Anyway, commit 026f6a42b680207a59beadf0b0b9cc1753f55605 fixes it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix refresh kross extra-cmake-modules
gnu/packages/kde-frameworks.scm:77:13: extra-cmake-modules would be upgraded from 5.39.0 to 5.40.0
gnu/packages/kde-frameworks.scm:3552:13: info: 5.39.0 is already the latest version of kross

The KDE updater does not update all kde-framework packages:

- Those residing in mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/$VERSION/ are updated,

- Those residing in mirror://kde/stable/frameworks/$VERSION/portingAids/
(mind the additional directory after the version) are *not* updated.

How to reproduce

git checkout 91496dfc9a4c3a708b5c2604fad3e42e101fea04 # master @
2017-1019, kde-frameworks 5.37

./pre-inst-env guix package -A 'attica|kross'

# both packages have v 5.37

./pre-inst-env guix refresh --update --type=kde

./pre-inst-env guix package -A 'attica|kross'

# attica is 5.39, while kross is still 5.37

kross is in the portingAids subdirectory, as you can see at
<ftp://mirrors.mit.edu/kde/stable/frameworks/5.39/portingAids/>
