'don't approve' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'is liked somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'liked'='isliked'
'isliked' is an anagram of 'DISLIKE'.

'but' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dislike that I've seen before include "Loathe" , "Hostility" , "Hate" , "Feel distaste for (something)" , "Fell aversion or antipathy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
