cannot open doc string file "loaddefs.elc" shown for many functions in the minibuffer (alien.top)

hello, when executing M-x in emacs 29.1 vanilla, looking for ~apropos~ related commands, I see that this error message is shown instead of the usual description in the minibuffer.

I assume this error only happens with emacs native functions, not with the most of the commands coming from other packages.

How can I fix this? thanks for your help.

I suggest reinstalling Emacs, as your install sounds kinda broken. That file should not be missing, and I'd guess it's not the only one.
