I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding about what a package manager is.
From Wikipedia: "A package manager or package-management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs for a computer in a consistent manner." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_manager
Helm is a package manager as it consistently,
* Can pull and deploy applications via packages
* Can manage (upgrade/reconfigure/delete) deployed applications
* Can search and find helm charts.
So the difference is it lacks a GUI? Afaik GUI was never a requirement for a package manager.
And another perspective is, as GlassKube does not provide a packaging mechanism, and uses helm in the backend (established in another question, which I'll also reply) it's not really a package manager but a frontend to another one.
(examples: dpkg - package manager - apt-get/apt/aptitude frontend)
Also IMHO, Considering CNCF landscape, Glasskube is more positioned as a Continues Delivery tool than a package manager. But this is my take.
