The trigger is run in two situations. When the source package (i.e.
the package containing the triggerun, in this case, httpd-1.0-2) is
already installed and the target (httpd < 1.0-2) removed, or when the
target is already installed and the source removed. When downgrading,
the source package "httpd-1.0-2" is being uninstalled while the target
"httpd < 1.0-2" is already present on the system. You could use
triggerpostun instead - that will run only after the target is
removed, but not when the source package is removed. See "triggers"
under /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.x.y.
