Present also on RHEL-7.0 with yum-utils-1.1.31-25.el7_0.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1045494 +++

Description of problem:

Yum post transaction action was delivered to restart litpd service every time new python plugin is delivered and content of directory /opt/ericsson/nms/litp/lib is changed. 

The yum post action file is installed as: /etc/yum/post-actions/litp.action , below is the content of the file:
/opt/ericsson/nms/litp/lib:any:service litpd restart

All works fine during installation but when package is removed I'm getting the following error:

IndexError: list index out of range

I'm not sure why do we search for package in rmdb which we just removed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

yum-plugin-post-transaction-actions-1.1.31-18.fc20.noarch

How reproducible:

Please try to remove a package for which post transaction action is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable post-transaction-action for directory which will be changed when some package is removed.
2. Remove package in order to trigger yum-post-transaction-action

Actual results:

You should get "index out of range" exception as package is no longer in rpmdb. The post transaction action won't be executed but package will be removed.

Expected results:

The yum-post-transaction-action should be executed without any exception.
