Thanks to alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com who said:

        He can restore them from a backup or the distribution. A
        backup would be the first choice. Before V4.0 the subsets
        are compressed tar archives, so extracting the missing
        files is pretty easy. It may be easiest to delete the
        affected subsets (if not the BASE or other required subset)
        and reinstall.

The problem has been solved.
