title: Package Control issues? Here's a fix!

I recently updated my computers to macOS Sequoia and Sublime Text went on the
fritz. Being my IDE of choice, I spent the better part of two days trying to get
my plugins working. Thankfully, a year-old issue on Github[1][2] got everything
working again:

> FOR ANYONE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THIS PROBLEM
> Maintainer @deathaxe has explained several times in this thread that you can
  solve the problem simply by downloading the latest edition[3] (4.0+) of Package
  Control!

Clicking the second link will download "Package.Control.sublime-package" but we
need to replace the period with a space ("Package Control.sublime-package"). Then
we need to place this file in the correct place.

The quickest method is to open Sublime Text and navigate to Settings… > Browse
Packages… to open that directory in Finder. Go one level up, navigate to
"Installed Packages," and move that Package Control.sublime-package file there.

Restart Sublime Text and you should be back in business.
