Any idea which this may fail?

Is this from the update that was pushed to CRAN yesterday?

@steve-the-bayesian We build everything from source, but I took the source tarball from CRAN here.

The failure likely occurs here, which is found in utils.R. DateToPOSIX <- function(timestamps) { ## Convert an object of class Date to class POSIXct without getting bogged ## down in timezone calculation. ## ## Calling as.POSIXct on another date/time object (e.g. Date) applies a ## timezone correction to the object. This can shift the time marker by a few ## hours, which can have the effect of shifting the day by one unit. If the ## day was the first or last in a month or year, then the month or year will ## be off by one as well. ## ## Coercing the object to the character representation of a Date prevents this ## adjustment from being applied, and leaves the POSIXt return value with the ## intended day, month, and year. stopifnot(inherits(timestamps, "Date")) return(as.POSIXct(as.character(timestamps), )) }
