Can't find System.Convert in .Net 5 Core beta2

Question

We recently upgraded our MVC 6 project to the beta2 and .Net Core is complaining that it cannot use System.Convert. Can someone tell me where this has been moved?

My project JSON contains the following for Core:

"aspnetcore50": {
    "dependencies": {
        "System.Runtime": "4.0.20-beta-22416",
        "System.Threading.Tasks": "4.0.10-beta-22416",
        "System.Net.Http": "4.0.0-beta-22416",
        "Newtonsoft.Json": "6.0.6.0",
        "System.Collections": "4.0.10-beta-22416"
    }
}

You can use the unofficial package search website to see in which package a certain API is.

System.Convert is in System.Runtime.Extensions if you are are using CoreCLR (aspnetcore50)
