Based on your version information, you're on the master branch.
org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes is no longer used in this branch; there's a
compatibility alias, but no calls to it:

    $ git describe
    release_9.0.5-474-g942b6267a
    $ git grep org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes
    etc/ORG-NEWS:*** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
    lisp/org-compat.el:(define-obsolete-function-alias 'org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes

So, in order to get the void function error above, older Org files that
call org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes must be getting loaded at some point.
And I suppose master's org-compat.el must not be getting loaded because
the alias isn't defined.

Perhaps the mixed-install FAQ section will help you track down the
issue: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install
