📄 Description

Fixes #14931

Problem

The current Linux uninstall docs use tr 'bin' 'lib' to convert the binary path to the library path. However, tr performs character-by-character translation:

  • b → l
  • i → b
  • n → i

This means paths like /usr/local/bin/ollama get mangled to /usr/local/lbl/ollama, which is completely wrong and could cause unexpected rm -r behavior.

Fix

Replace tr 'bin' 'lib' with sed 's|/bin/|/lib/|' which performs proper string substitution of the /bin/ directory component with /\lib/.
