steps: 1. use query.cgi and spot the derivatives product and its components 2. ask describecomponents for an explanation. actual results: The product Derivatives does not exist or you don't have access to it. The following is a list of the products you can choose from. that's not true. while i might not be able to file bugs in deriviatives, i can see bugs in it. and if i can see bugs in it, i need to be able to read the descriptions of the components. the rule being used by describecomponents is wrong. note: derivatives is closed for bug entry, but it isn't a product i'm not allowed to see, if it was, query wouldn't let me see it.

Oh, this bug actually still exists. Just hit me now in Bugzilla 3.5.

If the product exists and the user is allowed to enter or search for bugs in it, then the product and its components should be described. I also added missing POD for get_accessible_products(). I leave my @products = @{$user->get_enterable_products}; at line 49 of describecomponents.cgi alone for now. The right fix is probably to pass a parameter to this script mentioning which products should be displayed (either enterable, selectable or accessible ones). But that's another bug.
