version I am trying to install is 1.0.0-2, and I am using mbarcode_1.0.0-2_armel.deb.

I am using "Maemo 5" (as displayed by "About Product" in config.

I assume I can force dpkg to ignore the compatibility problem, but I don't think it is correct way of installing it and it may not work as expected. Compatibility checks made for reason.
If you use dpkg from the command line to install a local file you have to ensure that all the deps are met yourself. Far easier to use apt-get which will automatically handle downloading and installing the deps for you.

Glad you've got it working anyway.
