E:No signature (188 files) E:Verification failed Installation aborted. What is the problem? Why does it say 1.5.3 in the build?

I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted to remove a system application (Twitter), but now the OTA system update fails with the message Verifying current system ... assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "<long hex string>") E:Error in /cache/c8847c98b948.signed-passion-FRG83-fromFR91.c8847c98.zip (status 7) Un-rooting the device doesn't seem to fix this.
