[R] as.POSIXct character string is not in a standard unambiguous format

[Ben Tupper]

Hi,

I can't answer the question about R 3.3.3, but I don't see anything in the update notes. 

http://mirror.its.dal.ca/cran/doc/manuals/r-release/NEWS.html

In the meantime, would it skirt your issue if you explicitly stated the format?

x <- as.POSIXct("2002-02-02 02:02", format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
