Deviations as one salami is transported (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anomalies

'deviations' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one salami is transported' is the wordplay.
'is transported' indicates anagramming the letters.
'one'+'salami'='onesalami'
'onesalami' is an anagram of 'ANOMALIES'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for anomalies that I've seen before include "Deviations from the normal or common" , "exceptions" , "Things deviating from norm" , "They deviate from what is standard, normal, or expected" , "They're unusual or different from what is expected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
