If you do a search through the last 2 months on the qgis-user mailing list this error has come up quite a few times, with a number of suggested solutions.

The osgeo installer should understand qgis = 1.8 and qgis-dev = master. Make sure it's getting a new list of packages off the net, and not looking at existing downloaded ones.

My understanding is that it isn't.
It is "recommended for new users" because the installer behaves in the usual windows manner. The osgeo installer behaves quite differently to that.
