Ghost plugin spec not found... Weirdness

[anoduck]

Admittedly and unexpectedly, the transition from packer to lazy.nvim has not been an easy one. Most issues have been resolved, except for this one particular irregularity. I am receiving an error message stating the spec for plugin **** is not found. I have searched through my init.lua file and the string **** cannot be found. So I am referring to this as a "Ghost plugin". Here is the full output of the error with verbosity set to 3.

Error detected while processing `/home/user/.config/nvim/init.lua`:
Plugin spec for **** not found.
\```lua
{ "",
  _ = {},
  name = ""
}
\```

It is unclear to me, at least, what is actually going on.

You have an empty plugin name or dependency somewhere. Hard to tell what's wrong without seeing your code

@folke Most definitely, it was a dependency. By Lazy.nvim standards, I was abusing the dependency spec.

@folke Make no mistake about it, I love your which-key.nvim extension, and I am so thankful you went with the same convention in Lazy.nvim. Thank you, sincerely.
