Runtime: RC2 netstandard1.5 'Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

I have a class library on netstandard1.5, my project.json is below. When running dotnet build I get errors like:

The type 'Exception' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'.
The type 'Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'.
The type 'Uri' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'.
The type 'Stream' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes'.

In RC1 packages I could reference System.Runtime and this would be fixed. However now RC2 and I reference NETStandard.Library that package is included.

I am completely stumped as to why I get these errors.

I've tried to isolate but I just can't replicate it. The project references are simply libs with classes like below in them, no logic or dependencies

public class Person
{
}

One of your packages is bringing in an mscorlib-based PCL (likely due to your use of "imports":"portable-net45+win8+wp8+wpa81") . To resolve that you need to reference "Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility": "1.0.1-rc2-24027". This package enables compat with mscorlib-based PCLs.

Thanks that package did it, after speaking to @davidfowl we highlighted it was FubarCoder.RestSharp.Portable.HttpClient and the imports bring in the BCL.
