logging-in as su acting unexpectedly

Trying to used `sudo su` at a command prompt is yielding unexpected results.

Executing `sudo su` at a prompt yields

`[sudo] password for daniel: `

as it should.

Entering my password yields:

`su: failed to execute xxxxxxxxx: No such file or directory`

'xxxxxxxxx' substituted for the command result echos the password entered.

To my memory `sudo su` should return a prompt for my password. Once provided, the terminal should enter into a super user command prompt.

My system is Kubuntu 22.04 and the terminal is the default Konsole.
