What happened?
Error: Provider produced inconsistent result after apply

What did you expect to happen?
Successful install

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?
It is random and rare

Flow seems to be:
1 Installer creates a thing
2 AWS creates it
3 AWS says it doesn't exist
4 Terrform dies
