I am not sure when the error message is returned from tc command.

Could you possibly describe steps to reproduce and the environments?

[Mnkras]

I hit this on Debian 9 and 10
When running tcdel veth3 --all multiple times (when there were no rules on the interface) I would hit this.

I have got the following error message with debian 10 iproute2 4.20.0-2:

Error: Cannot delete qdisc with handle of zero.

what exactly your environments?

[Mnkras]

I have the same version of iproute2.
Here is the error I got:

[00:07:17.960][info] [WARNING] command='tcdel wlan0 --all', returncode=1, stderr="\x1b[33m\x1b[1m[WARNING]\x1b[0m command='/sbin/tc qdisc del dev wlan0 root', returncode=2, stderr='Error: Cannot delete qdisc with handle of zero.\\n'\n\x1b[31m\x1b[1m[ERROR]\x1b[0m command execution failed\n  command=/sbin/tc qdisc del dev wlan0 ingress\n  stderr=Error: Invalid handle.\n\n\x1b[1m[INFO]\x1b[0m delete wlan0 ifb device (ifb5898)\n"

Here is the output cleaned up a bit:

[00:07:17.960][info] [WARNING] command='tcdel wlan0 --all', returncode=1, stderr="\x1b[33m\x1b[1m[WARNING]\x1b[0m command='/sbin/tc qdisc del dev wlan0 root', returncode=2, stderr='Error: Cannot delete qdisc with handle of zero.\
'
[ERROR] command execution failed
  command=/sbin/tc qdisc del dev wlan0 ingress
  stderr=Error: Invalid handle.

[INFO] delete wlan0 ifb device (ifb5898)

I have the same version of iproute2.

In that case, the difference of the error message would stem from OS.
Please replace the comment (# debian/ubuntu) to a specific OS with version.

We are running Debian 10 Buster, with a slightly customized 5.7.8 kernel (nothing touched in the networking area) so I believe this should be reproducible on vanilla Debian (and therefore likely Ubuntu).

I don't get that error every time, only sometimes and I haven't figured out a reliable reproducible case yet, but I do believe the comment to be accurate.

Thank you for your additional information.

If the error conditions are not clear, I'm not so sure whether the error is ignorable or not.
