Debug Output

When I convert a project with unknown provider versions we seem to use " *" as a default

There are some problems with the configuration, described below.

The Terraform configuration must be valid before initialization so that
Terraform can determine which modules and providers need to be installed.
╷
│ Error: Invalid version constraint
│
│   on main.tf.json line 1, in terraform.required_providers.random:
│    1: {"terraform":{"required_providers":{"random":{"version":" *","source":"random"},"tls":{"version":" *","source":"tls"},"aws":{"version":" ~> 4.15.1","source":"hashicorp/aws"}}},"provider":{"random":{},"tls":{},"aws":{}}}

I ran into this also.

Many of the providers which I directly depended on via required_providers, in turn depended on hashicorp/random. So I had an indirect dependency on hashicorp/random.

I was able to unblock myself by explicitly depending on a specific version of hashicorp/random by adding it to my required_providers. To determine which version I should use, I looked in ./terraform/providers/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/random to see which version was installed.
