I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'showing a lack of knowledge but' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'not angrily getting upset' is the wordplay.
'getting upset' is an anagram indicator.
'not'+'angrily'='notangrily'
'notangrily' is an anagram of 'IGNORANTLY'.

'also' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ignorantly that I've seen before include "in ill-informed way" , "As if one doesn't know" , "In an uninformed manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
