That's deeply weird; i installed smartmontools not 10 minutes before getting the above output, on a clean system. Why would it install something other than the lastest version available..?
I don't see this behavior occurring with other packages, but I'll go read up on apt-cache. Unless it IS happening with other packages and i just haven't caught them doing anything odd yet..? Oh, yikes...
