ipython: test_history failure

I am trying to package ipython 7.0.1 for openSUSE and I am getting the following error in the unit tests:

======================================================================

It looks like the last two list elements have switched places but I don’t know why that might be the case.

EDIT:

We can likely fix this issue in two steps:

1. mark the test as skip (or known fail) for the range of sqlite versions that appear to be affected.
2. actually figure out if this is a change in behavior worth fixing or if the test should be updated accordingly.
