Following the discussion I am not sure if we as the distro can and will
fix this issue.

If you think it is a bug in the upstream code then please file a bug
against the upstream project. Or please suggest a doable change in the
Ubuntu release.

** Changed in: qtcreator (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
  QtCreator: "ptrace: Operation not permitted." in Debug mode

Status in “qtcreator” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Debugging with Qt Creator does not work. Upon entering debug mode, the
  error message in the attached screenshot is presented (translation:
  ptrace: Operation not permitted). The associated console window stays
  open without any possibility of interaction.

  More info and a temporary fix for users can be found here:
  http://www.deder.at/wordpress/?p=307

  More info on the error cause:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Roadmap/KernelHardening#ptrace

  How to reproduce:
  - In QtCreator, create a new "Plain C" or "Plain C++" project.
  - Set a breakpoint in the generated main function
  - click the Debug-button in the lower left bar.

  Expected: Debug mode opens with the ability to set breakpoints, edit
  watches and step through the source code.

  What happens: See attached screenshot. Debugging doesn't work.
