alter_column failing on SqLite when specifying the column name of ForeignKey

[jdstallings@…]

when executing the following migration step:

db.alter_column('test_table', 'box_id', orm['test.table:box'])

I get the following exception:

django.db.utils.DatabaseError: table test_table has no column named box_id_id

attached a potential fix, not sure if it breaks anything though
