Terraform destroy bug on aws_internet_gateway resource

[bensojona]

I get the following error every time I terraform destroy my infrastructure.

Error applying plan:

4 error(s) occurred:

* aws_internet_gateway.public: Error waiting for internet gateway (igw-81138de4) to detach: couldn't find resource
* aws_subnet.private.1: Error deleting subnet: timeout while waiting for state to become 'destroyed'
* aws_subnet.private.2: Error deleting subnet: timeout while waiting for state to become 'destroyed'
* aws_subnet.private.0: Error deleting subnet: timeout while waiting for state to become 'destroyed'

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Happens to me too, When I run terraform destroy again, It succeeds.

Yeah I've seen that as well. We probably need to treat that "couldn't find resource" error as a successful outcome.

If anybody has a small config that reproduces this issue, that would be helpful!
