Description
The documentation page on General Software Lists seems to incorrectly shows the updated date and time (a value from the future).
As of 03 Aug 2023, that page reads:
The lists below were last updated at 10:35:10 (+0100) on 08 Aug 2023, and are generated from the software installed on the Myriad cluster.
The same issue occurs in the pages on python and R packages list:
The following list was last updated at 10:35:03 (+0100) on 08 Aug 2023.

Research direction
Start by comparing the displayed timestamps on the General Software Lists, Python packages, and R packages pages linked in the issue with the source that generates their update text. Trace how the date is produced and determine why it can be later than the reported current date. Done means all three pages show the correct update date and time.
