@Sebastien: Yes, enable/disable airplane mode works from gnome-control-center. It also works to disalbe it from the Gnome panel manu. (Remember that it previously also could be enabled and disabled with the dedicated Fn+Pos1 key as long as xkb-data was 2.23).
As for the verification-failed: I obviously accept the maintainers' decision. If you think that the xkb-data update is the right path forward despite this regression, by all means please go ahead. It would be good to fix the regression though. It seems that a very similar machine is sold as a Developer Edition with Ubuntu (Dell Precision 5530, https://bartongeorge.io/2018/05/24/welcome-the-new-dell-precision- developer-editions/) The failed disable of the airplane mode (i.e., failed re-enable of Wifi/BT) leaves this in journalctl: Nov 06 00:00:49 chronic systemd[1]: Starting Load/Save RF Kill Switch Status...
