I put the backports line in sources and update apt (and aptitude) -- smartmontools was still at 6.  I removed 6 and tried again.  I removed everything bue the backports from sources and updated apt.  6 was still in my package managers' lists.

  https://wiki.debian.org/Backports
in particular:
  https://wiki.debian.org/Backports#Installing_backports_on_the_command_line
"The backports repository is deactivated by default." ...
