What is the issue?

It looks like the maintainer of ollama and ollama-cuda package for Arch Linux decided to change the models location from /var/lib/ollama/.ollama/models to /var/lib/ollama.

This change makes ollama no longer find the models downloaded before the upgrade.

The solution is to just move the models to their new location:

sudo mv -v /var/lib/ollama/.ollama/models/blobs/* /var/lib/ollama/blobs/
sudo mv -v /var/lib/ollama/.ollama/models/manifests/* /var/lib/ollama/manifests/

Not an issue with the project per se so I will just close it. Maybe someone will be looking for a solution here.
