Thanks Alex for your comments!
1, Have double checked the script STPfailure_report.pl history from the 
ltp repo(git://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp.git), it is added as
a tool to analyze failures from LTP runs on the OSDL's Scaleable Test 
Platform (STP) as below:

     Added tool for analyzing failures from LTP runs on the OSDL's 
Scaleable Test Platform (STP)

2, And go through the contents of the script STPfailure_report.pl and it 
mainly needs to access http://khack.osdl.org to retrieve ltp test 
results run on OSDL's Scaleable Test Platform (STP) and print the 
reports, and now the website http://khack.osdl.org not accessible.

So we don't need to add so many new recipes for dependencies for this 
script STPfailure_report.pl.

Sorry for noise, please ignore it.

And will reorganize the logic to resend another patch not deploy this 
script to our system to avoid confusing about this script fails to run.

Thanks,
Grace
