Did you update from RC2? This is a known issue with older images.
By reinstalling you mean "apt-get install --reinstall"? In that case, it doesn't work: you'd need to remove and then install it again (I had the same issue a few months ago):
Terminal
sudo apt-get remove --purge watchdog
sudo apt-get install watchdog
sudo apt-get install watchdog
