Pip package dependency issue, qtfaststart won't install

[RandomNinjaAtk]

Describe the bug This is not a bug with SMA, but a problem with package dependency. qtfaststart won't install, when looking online it seems that it's a very old package and likely unsupported... so the likely chance of a fix seems to be very low... I am posting this because I'm hoping you can at least validate that there is a problem installing the legacy package. If it is reproducible, it might be time to consider deprecating it?

Command or context you are trying to run pip3 install -r /usr/local/sma/setup/requirements.txt

System Information

• OS: Docker (Alpine Linux)
• Python version: 3.12.3

Expected behavior Install required packages, because the one package is unable to install, all required packages fail to install using the requirements.txt file

Additional context Just looking for a confirmation that it is broken and if there is any guidance that could help resolve it
