No, the Ubuntu 18.04 package gives this for the smartctl -V command:

smartmontools release 6.6 dated 2016-05-07 at 11:17:46 UTC
smartmontools SVN rev 4324 dated 2016-05-31 at 20:45:50

So it really is 6.6.  I was surprised, as I did not think 6.6 was that
old.

In any case, I have downloaded and compiled the latest 6.7 for my
system.
