Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by finding the crash-report entry point that parses the package path, then reproduce the report with "Sid Meier's Civilization V". Done means the complete filename remains intact and the report does not incorrectly look up only "Sid".

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

when "Sid Meier's Civilization V" crashes the crash report treats it as "Sid" and thus produces the following error message

The package providing /home/million/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid could not be found.
If you want to generate a stack trace for this crash report, please reinstall it.
