On the ftp site there isn't a Packages.gz under .../binary-all either. Instead the packages from binary-all are listed in the Packages.gz from .../binary-i386 (or in general from .../binary-$ARCH). In the Packages.gz built by apt-move under .../binary-i386 the packages from binary-all are missing. So I built the Packages file for binary-all and binary-i386 manually with dpkg-scanpackages and merged them into a compound Packages.gz under .../binary-i386. Now an apt-get on a remote machine (via NFS) is upgrading the binary-all packages, too. Bye Andreas
