When doing a reassign, you currently need to also limit to the
packages that you're reassigning to. I'm thinking though, that this
should probably be changed to ignore the limit for internal requests
like the reopen/notfixed. Reassigned and retitled appropriately.

If you had set package mailx bsd-mailx; this would have worked properly.

at this point, 68934 is no longer in the mailx package, but since
it's been reassigned, the fixed versions should be cleared, and the
package should be reopened.
