On my 42.3 desktop, I see
# zypper up smartmontools Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... No update candidate for 'smartmontools-6.5-8.1.x86_64'. The highest available version is already installed.
That version is a bit old, from July 2017. You have a newer version?
Yes, I got it from "home:plater" repo (which now has disappeared). There are other home repos, but they also have 6.6. Even TW has 6.6 (or did yesterday night when I searched). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.0 (Legolas))
