The problem is solved.

During the reinstallation, there were only a few javascript files in  
the directory horde/js. These were probably only the new or changed  
files. I then just took the javascript files of the old installation  
and the new files overplayed. Now there are no error messages.

But why have not all javascript files been installed during a new  
installation?
