Just find out that ubuntu-sdk* will purge everything. But still I would appreciate an explanation. Thanks :)

Try

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Installing ubuntu-sdk will install certain qt-creator packages. and when you remove the ubuntu-stk package, the will not automatically be removed again. They should still be functioning, so if one of the programs crashes when accessing the options dialogue, you definitely have a problem on your system, and that error is independent from (un)installing ubuntu-sdk.

But my Qt crashes when I remove the sdk package. And it runs normal when I installed it back.

Apparently not all packages are updated to the latest version (but that should not cause program aborts).

What is the output of

apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade

There seem to be eight non-security updates waiting to be installed.
I recommend that you install them with

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I do not see anything that could be related to program crashes with qt creator.

If the crash with qt designer is repeatable, then you should create a bug report about this problem.

Can you help with this problem?
