Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/14931

What is the issue?

The tr command performs character-by-character translation, so this is wrong:

 Remove ollama libraries from your lib directory (either /usr/local/lib, /usr/lib, or /lib):

sudo rm -r $(which ollama | tr 'bin' 'lib')

Example with a snap (just to prove the point)

$ which ollama | tr 'bin' 'lib'
/sbap/lib/ollama

Relevant log output
