Public bug reported:

sqlite3 uses history via the readline library. It used to work just fine
on 14.04. After I upgraded to 16.04, the arrow keys stopped working.

The sqlite3 executable is NOT linked against the readline library, and
from googling on the internet that seems to be the reason why the keys
are not working.
