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
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
