Over, "modulo" means taking the remainder of a division.
1 modulo 2 is 1 ( 1/2 = 0 remainder 1/2 )
2 modulo 2 is 0 ( 2/2 = 1 remainder 0/2 )
3 modulo 2 is 1 ( 3/2 = 2/2 +1/2 = 1 remainder 1/2 )
So what he's suggesting is that the installer sees 60 GB free modulo 2 = 0 GB. His bugfix involves adding roughly 1GB of files to your drive, so that the free space decreases to 59 GB. 59 modulo 2 = 1. Thus, the installer sees 1 GB of free space and happily proceeds with the installation.
Dunno if that works, but give it a go. It's worth a try, I say.
