x <- as.Date("21-07-2005","%d-%m-%y")
is base R, and gives you a object of class "Date".
days() is not part of R, and I guess from your subject is part of chron.
Its help page does not say what it actually does, but my guess is that it
finds days of the month, *for a "dates" object not a "Date" object*. Try
as.POSIXlt(x)$mday
to get that.

It should never have worked, as you were using contrary to its
documentation.
The input is e.g.
days(as.Date("21-07-2005","%d-%m-%y"))
the error is: Fehler in Math.Date(dts): floor nicht definiert für Date
Objekte
(Error in Math.Date(dts): floor not defined for date objects)
Same for year. Only months gives me the correct output.
In Version 2.01 it worked very well, with the same chron library.
Whats wrong ?
There is no version 2.01 of R: do see the posting guide!
