dns_zone_id isn't working

[orzarchi]

module.database.module.dns_host_name.aws_route53_record.default: aws_route53_record.default: value of 'count' cannot be computed

where module.database is my invocation of this module.

The zone id argument usage was straightforward:
dns_zone_id = "${aws_route53_zone.private.id}"

TL;DR: it will probably work if you first terraform apply -target aws_route53_zone.private and then run terraform apply.

We consider this to be a deficiency of the language and not something that we can fix.
